Course Information

> Why learn Spanish in Cuba?

People learn Spanish for a number of reasons: some for work or business, some for education and preparation for university or exams and others simply for fun. The difference of choosing StudyTeam Cuba is that you get a destination that offers Caribbean paradise and the ultimate travel experience. Not only is Cuba a beautiful country, it also has a population that is very friendly and hospitable. With our expertise of over ten years on the beautiful island of Cuba, you are guaranteed a fun and exciting learning Spanish holiday.

> How will my course run?

All classes are taught in the morning. Depending on the programme you choose we will decide your timetable. You will register on Monday morning at the language school and your full timetable will be given there.

> Do I need to prepare for the course?

You do not need to prepare for the course as our courses are taught from complete beginner level. However, reading up on some key phrases or a bit of practise before you go will mean that you improve at a faster rate in Cuba.

> Is it possible to book a course without accommodation?

Yes, but you will have to find a hotel or guesthouse yourself. If you want further information on this then please contact us.

> Do I receive a qualification or certificate?

Yes, you will receive an end of course certificate confirming the course you have taken, the language school and the level reached once you have completed our questionnaire.

Cuba

> What do I do on arrival?

We recommend clients to take a taxi from the airport to their chosen destination. You will receive the exact details of the destination's meeting point in your confirmation email. Please note: there is an airport tax on departure of approximately $25 convertible pesos.

> Do I need a visa?

To enter Cuba every tourist needs a passport (that is still valid for 6 months after arrival) and a tourist visa that normally can be purchased together with the flight. This tourist visa is usually valid for 30 days. At the immigration office one extension of 30 days can be made.

> Is Cuba safe?

Yes, in fact Cuba has the lowest crime rate in the Western Hemisphere. There is a visible police presence specifically to protect and help tourists. Please take caution in the cities and be aware of your belongings.
